* A lot of actors who play [[LesbianVampire Herbert von Krolock]] in ''TanzDerVampire'' have these. Some just have the nails attached to gloves, however, and sometimes, his hands just look ''exquisitely'' manicured.

* In ''TheWomen'', Sylvia in the first scene is showing off her nails, which have been painted a new shade called "Jungle Red." Nancy says it's good "for tearing your friends apart," a quip which Sylvia resents. Mary admires the shade, but the [[ChattyHairdresser chatty manicurist]] who gave it to Sylvia also divulged some gossip about Mary's husband keeping another woman. At the end of the play, Sylvia and the other woman are sore at Mary for having cattily outwitted them, and she says, "Well, I've two years to sharpen my claws," and flashes her fingernails--"Jungle Red, Sylvia!"--before leaving the two ladies alone.

* Winifred Sanderson from Disney's Halloween movie ''HocusPocus'' has these. With all her crazy hand motions, it's kind of hard to miss, especially when she uses one like a knife to cut through a window screen.

** [[BigBad The Emperor]] of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyII'' has always been depicted with long, claw-like nails, likely serving as a RedRightHand, but the...[[OffModel interesting take on the character]] shown in the FMV opening to later remakes of the game really takes it UpToEleven, [[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20060224061219/finalfantasy/images/9/9a/Ff2psx_1.jpg as you can see]]. Damn, that's a nice manicure. And it's set to make a possibly-even-''more''-glorious return in ''Duodecim'', the sequel to ''{{Dissidia}}''. Name and number of your manicurist, ''please'', Mr. Palamecia.

* A number of characters from DragonBall have this trait, perhaps most noticeably [[HumanoidAlien Namekians]] because the first one of them introduced was imagined as a [[OurDemonsAreDifferent demon]]. Unlike most of the examples on this page, they're a male looking OneGenderRace.
